not a fan of passive radiators, horns, transmission lines or pretty much anything BUT acoustic suspension, except for compound loaded (isobaric) acoustic suspension.
really, i'm excited to find out about the philharmonitors... THEY are more or less the sierra 2 "upgrades" i argued with ascend acoustics, who don't want to hear diddly from uppity acoustic suspension lovers, to make at half the price! i really think phase plug woofers are sexy too especially efter loving the drivers (only) on my energy RC10s.
as to soft dome "realism", they do soften hard transients, but, can sound very realistic on vocals and softer instruments. in fact, while my energy RC-10s and their excellent tweeters in particular were better than my NHT superzero drivers, there was one track where the NHT soft domes were better sounding on my panasonic SA-XR... water drums 1 by baka forest people. the track sounds EXTREMELY real on NHTs, but didn't image as well or sound as literally liquid on energy aluminum domes. there really sounds like there's water between the speakers on NHTs, but the energys beat them on everything else, particularly tracks with metallic percussion or busy high frequency content.
